More on the bus fares by phone
There’s more on the bus fares by phone, currently only a pilot project effective on buses only, not on trains or in the metro.
TVA says that, as of next month, unlimited evening and weekend fares, till now restricted to the STM, will apply throughout the whole ARTM area. Although they mention the metro and show a photo with a phone fare, the text doesn’t confirm that this novelty is part of the fares-by-phone project.

Novelty? If it means I carry one less card with me, all the better. IIRC, cell phones with Internet access were considered a novelty 20 years ago.

Derek, the change from the unlimited evening and weekend fares to apply to the entire ARTM area is the novelty I was referring to, not anything technical.
What I meant was: the TVA article shows a picture of a phone with an Opus logo card on it (?) but it’s not clear from the article whether this story (about a new decision to extend the unlimited evening and weekend fares) intersects with the phone story at all.
